Sendmail fixkit

[D.K.Brownlee () city ac uk (David Brownlee)]

        Just had a quick look & it looks good, but one question...

        Disallowing mailaddresses with '/' in is going to blow away any
        gatewayd X.400 adresses = ie
        '/I=A/S=Stupid/O=X400/ADMD=Message/PRMD=ButThen/C=TheyAllAre@gateway'

        which is the form people here use to get to X.400 addresses.
        (I know.. X.400 sucks, but we need to be able to get the header 
        thru to a machine which understands X.400 & can deal with the
        braindamage).
